“You did us proud and supported a right cause making it a colorful event that met its desired purpose” said Gen Muhoozi.
He promised to make it better in the coming Tarehe Sita and informed the gathering that there is a need for early engagements with stake holders and all those that would wish to be part especially the corporate world.
